SQL 2012 :: Save Query Results Directly Using Variables And Date / Time
Sep 1, 2015
I wonder if it is possible to run a stored procedure and save the results directly to a file in a predetermined directory
As an example I have created a (simple) stored procedure:
USE CovasCopy
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE spTryOut
(
@LastName as NVARCHAR(50)
, @FirstName AS NVARCHAR(25)
[Code] ....
What I would like to add is a (or more?) lines that save the results in a file (csv/txt/tab?)
The name I would like the file to have is "LastName, FirstName, Date query ran, time (HHMMSS?) query ran"
The directory: D:SQLServerResults

I would like to save only the time into the datetime field in a table. when I do this, It will save it as "1/1/1900 15:23:00" All I would like to have is the time! Is there a way to update it so that it will only save the time?
Thanks In advance!

I want to write a small program (maybe just a stored procedure) that will save the results and column names of a simple query to CSV file. This will then be copied onto disk and distributed to user who'll use Excel or a similar package to open the CSV file.
Any suggestions as to the best way to achieve this? I was considering using a view and then BCP but I have problems then when trying to open the CSV file in excel (or other spreadsheet package). Doesn't like the datatypes and so on.
Is there a simple way to do this? And is it possible to save the results in such a way that Excel will choose the right datatypes for the columns. (not convert varchar's like '000122' to numbers.)

How do I save my query results into new table.... The ORIGINAL COLUMN Of course before parsing--- But the only data I want is in the three no name columns---(NO Column Name),(NO Column Name),(NO Column Name)I don’t want the original column saved back but I think it existing in the final query is blocking my Insert Into---

Can anyone show me how to run a prediction query and save the results to a sql table without using the T-SQL OPENQUERY tip here http://www.sqlserverdatamining.com/DMCommunity/TipsNTricks/3914.aspx? I am looking for an example in vb.net that I can use in a SSIS script task.
Thanks

I have cubes that hold quite a few calculations and so creating Excel pivot table views from it take a long time. This is even true for Excel 2007.
Now I wonder if it would be possible to write back all the calculation results to a relational table - maybe one that exactly matches the report format - so creating another report would be much faster?
SSRS seems to be a way to go but it does not speed up my Excel case.
I read about write-back in ROLAP and MOLAP but I don't think any of these concepts help me to really speed up my reports.
The closest thing I was able to find so far, which besides seems to do exactly what I want is Microsoft's new PerformancePoint 2007. It's just it seems overkill for my projects and the price is at $20K.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

I believe saving prediction query results to relational tables is possible (the BI studio does it!). I am not clear on how to do this w/o the BI studio, which means if I write a DMX query and want to store its output to a relational table, how do I do it?
Tips, anyone?
Thanks!

Hi there,
Is there a way to programmatically save a RS results into Excel format using the render method ?
I had read about that capability but I can't seem to find any sample code on how to do it. Is this a parameter that you have to set in the render method ?
Any suggestion or tips are much appreciated !
Thanks !

Hi,
I think I'm just braindead or simply thick...since this shouldn't be that hard, but I'm stumped right now.
So, I'm trying to retrieve from a table, with a sql stored procedure with the sql like
"select height, width, depth from products where id=@idinput"
OK, so this part is easy, but if I wanted to say, return this to my code and assign height to a variable Ht, width to Wd and depth to Dp, how could I do that?
This is what I've got so far...
[code]
cmdSelect = New SqlCommand( "GetProd", connstr )
cmdSelect.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
dbcon.Open()
dbcon.Close()
[/code]
The main prob is just what to connect this record to in order to access the individual fields.
Thx :)

I have a lot of rows of hours, set up like this: 0745, 0800, 2200, 1145 and so on (varchar(5), for some reason).
These are converted into a smalldatetime like this:
CONVERT(smalldatetime, STUFF(timestarted, 3, 0, ':')) [this would give output like this - 1900-01-01 11:45:00]
This code has been in place for years...and we stick the date on later from another column.
But recently, it's started to fail for some rows, with "The conversion of a varchar data type to a smalldatetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value".
My assumption is that new data being added in is junk. If I query for these values and just list them (rather than adding a column to convert them also) that's fine, of course. I've checked all the stuffed (but not yet converted - so 11:45 rather than 1145) output to see if it ISDATE(), and it is. There are no times with hours > 23 or minutes greater than 59 either.
If I add the CONVERT in, we see the error message. But here's the oddity, if I place all of the rows into a holding table, and retry the conversion, there is no error. It's this last bit that is puzzling me. Plus I can't see any errors in the hours data that would cause a conversion problem.
I've put the whole of this into a cursor to try to trap the error rows too, but all processes fine. Why would it fail if NOT in a cursor?

I am trying to calculate the time difference between the value in the row and the min value in the table. So say the min value in the table is 2014-05-29 14:44:17.713. (This is the start time of the test.) Now say the test ends at 2014-05-29 17:10:17.010. There are many rows recorded during that start and end time, for each row created a time stamp is created. I am trying to calculate the elapsed time and have it as a row in the results.
min(timestamp) - timestamp(value in row) = elapsed time for that test
where Channel = '273'
Here is the table DDL
CREATE DATABASE SpecTest;
USE SpecTest
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Spec1](
[Spec1ID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Channel] [int] NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
Here is some dummy data to use
INSERT INTO Spec1 (Channel, Timestamp, Lambda, Power)
VALUES(273, '2014-05-29 14:44:17.713', 800, '-64.91');
INSERT INTO Spec1 (Channel, Timestamp, Lambda, Power)
VALUES(273, '2014-05-29 15:05:09.507', 800, '-59.11');
INSERT INTO Spec1 (Channel, Timestamp, Lambda, Power)
[Code] ....
Example desired results (I hope the formatting works)
Channel | Timestamp | Lambda | Power | Elapsed_Time
______________________________________________________________
273 | '2014-05-29 14:44:17.713', | 800, | '-64.91' | 0
273 | '2014-05-29 15:05:09.507', | 800, | '-64.91' | 00:20:51
273 | '2014-05-29 15:26:00.520', | 800, | '-64.91' | 00:41:42
273 | '2014-05-29 16:28:34.213', | 800, | '-64.91' | 01:44:16
273 | '2014-05-29 16:49:25.853', | 800, | '-64.91' | 02:05:08

is there a way to change SSMS 2012 default query save location?
Scenario:
1. Open SSMS
2. Create new query
3. Click Save
I see "DocumentsSQL Server Management Studio" folder, but I want to change it to be "d:". How do I do this?
I tried:
1. [URL]- in folder "DocumentsSQL Server Management StudioSettingsSQL Server Management Studio" there is a file NewSettings.vssettings, setting it to "d:" or "d:" didn't work.
2. Changing HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftMicrosoft SQL Server100ToolsShell VisualStudioProjectsLocation didn't work too. There is no "Shell" under "110Tools"
Did I do something wrong, or is there another way?

I am writing a custom query to determine if a legacy table exists or not. From My CMS Server I already have all the instances I have to query and I store the name of the instance in the @Instance variable. I cannot get those stubborn ticks to work right in my query. Below I am using the IF EXISTS statement to search the metadata for the legacy table.
DECLARE @Found tinyint
DECLARE @Instance varchar(100)
set @Instance = 'The Instance'

I need to query the count of an occurrence in a given period of time, so I created this query. But it does not give me any results.
SELECT TOP 1000
o.[ID]
,o.[TimeOfOrder]
,x.[StreeLine1]
FROM [SC].[dbo].[bvc_Order] o
FULL JOIN SC.dbo.xmlAddressRead x
ON o.ID= x.id
WHERE DATEDIFF(HOUR,o.[TimeOfOrder],(DATEADD(Hour, -48, GETDATE()))) < 48
GROUP BY x.[StreeLine1], o.ID, o.TimeOfOrder
HAVING COUNT(x.[StreeLine1])>1
Then I change the query slightly and I ask it to show me the ones that are going to '599 Ships Landing Way' and it gives me 356 results! The Query doesn't crash, but it doesn't give me the results I need. What did I do incorrectly?
SELECT TOP 1000
o.[ID]
,o.[TimeOfOrder]
,x.[StreeLine1]
FROM [SC].[dbo].[bvc_Order] o
FULL JOIN SC.dbo.xmlAddressRead x
ON o.ID= x.id
WHERE DATEDIFF(HOUR,o.[TimeOfOrder],(DATEADD(Hour, -48, GETDATE()))) < 48
AND x.[StreeLine1]='599 Ships Landing Way'

I have a client data which has the candidate id, a start date which will have only the date in varchar format and a time value associated to that date in varchar format in a seperate column.
To give a brief explanation about the data a candidate will come to study center at any time point in a day for example 10:00 AM on 20-10-2014. The start date will be 20-10-2014 and from 10:00 AM he will have test based on the time point. So if the time point is 2 HR, then at 12:00 PM he will have a test. If the time point is 8 HR, it will get added with 10:00 AM and based on this he will have the test at 06:00 PM. When the timepoint reaches 00:00 the start date needs to be the next date instead of 20-10-2014.
The start date needs to be appended with the time value such that when it crosses over the time 00:00, the start date needs to get increased by 1 ie the next day. I have added the start date to the time by using the code below
CAST(STARTDATE as datetime) + CAST(CAST(STUFF([TIME],3,0,':') as time(0)) as datetime) as [EXPECTEDDATETIME]
By this above code i have created the expected datetime however
I will not be able to hardcode the value due to dynamic data. I tried to apply >= and < to the time value something like
case when MyTime >= '00:00' and MyTime < '08:10' the Dateadd(day, 1, date)
This works perfect but my concern is that I cannot put the value 08:10 because it will not a constant value for all rows.
I have provided a screenshot of my data and a expected date column for reference.
Candidate StartDateStartTimeExpected DateTime Timepoint
1 20141020 1000 2014-10-20 10:00:00 0 HR
1 201410201200 2014-10-20 12:00:00 02 HR

1 201410201800 2014-10-20 18:00:00 08 HR
1 201410200000 2014-10-21 00:00:00 12 HR
1 201410201200 2014-10-21 12:00:00 24 HR

Previous to 2012, grid results from SSMS queries pasted into Excel beautifully and were easy to format.in 2008, The results from this query pasted into a spreadsheet with the query contained in a single Excel cell:
(sample - not the whole script)
select top 300
Avg_CPU_Time
,Total_Physical_Reads
,convert(datetime,Last_execution_time) as Timestamp
,Stored_Procedure
,Query_text
from dbadmin.dbo.History_CPU_IO_ByQueryAndSP
This was wonderful. I could deliver to developers wonderfully tidy reports on query resource usage with timestamps along with which stored procedure the queries came from.
Can't do that in SSMS 2012. Try it. It's a disaster. The Query_text, when pasted, spreads across multiple Excel columns, including the ones designated for other data. The result is totally unreadable.how to make the query_text stay in it's own cell? I've tried converting query_text to varchar and ntext. Same results.

I have a table that stores working hrs, such as
RecID,StaffID,StartDate,EndDate
17,969,2015-05-18 00:00:00.000,2015-05-18 06:00:00.000
18,969,2015-05-18 18:00:00.000,2015-05-19 06:00:00.000
19,969,2015-05-19 18:00:00.000,2015-05-20 06:00:00.000
20,969,2015-05-20 18:00:00.000,2015-05-21 06:00:00.000
21,969,2015-05-21 18:00:00.000,2015-05-22 06:00:00.000
22,969,2015-05-22 18:00:00.000,2015-05-23 06:00:00.000
23,969,2015-05-23 14:00:00.000,2015-05-24 08:00:00.000
24,969,2015-05-24 22:00:00.000,2015-05-25 00:00:00.000
So working times can go over midnight, there can be more than one working period in a day etc.
For this staff member the summary of the weeks work will be
18/05/2015 - 12 hrs
19/05/2015 - 12 hrs
20/05/2015 - 12 hrs
21/05/2015 - 12 hrs
22/05/2015 - 12 hrs
23/05/2015 - 16 hrs
24/05/2015 - 10 hrs
Now for the complicated part, a person can take absence(sick,holiday,other) for any part of a day or whole day(s). For these absence periods only the worked time on that day needs to be negated off, not the whole period of time.
So for example
If this person
had a days holiday on the 22nd, shown in the HOLIDAY table as
StaffID,DateFrom, DateTo
969, 22/05/2015 00:00:00.000,22/05/2015 23:59:59.000
A Leave of Absence on the 20th, shown in the LEAVE table as
StaffID,DateFrom, DateTo
969,20/05/2015 12:00:00.000,20/05/2015 16:00:00.000
And was off sick on the morning of the 19th, shown in the SICKNESS Table as
StaffID,DateFrom, DateTo
969, 19/05/2015 00:00:00.000,19/05/2015 11:59:59.000
Now the Summary table should now show
18/05/2015 - 12 hrs
19/05/2015 - 6 hrs
20/05/2015 - 12 hrs
21/05/2015 - 12 hrs
22/05/2015 - 0 hrs
23/05/2015 - 16 hrs
24/05/2015 - 10 hrs
The 'Leave of Absence' on the 20th had no effect on the total for the day as it was between planned work times. how to do this within T-SQL, as simple as possible as I've got to had this code over to other staff members to maintain, who have not had much SQL experience yet?
I've tried doing it as a temp table, with dual insert/select commands, splitting the times over midnight, which partially worked but missed some of the combinations.

I work for a school district and new requirement we were just given for scoring some student scores.
Everything will currently be in one table to keep track of students test scores for various things. This table will contain students information and a student will be shown more than once in the table. The Student ID is what we will key off of to find the multiple instances of the student. The table contains the following columns: studentName, StudentId, teacherName, focus1, controllingIdeas1, reading1, development1, organization1, conventions1, and contentUnderstanding1. All of the columns with a 1 at the end will be numeric values with possible decimal values.
What we need to be able to do is some how perform a search for these multiple entries of each student and when found, average the 2 scores for each 7 test categories. The result needs to be a single line for each student that gives the student name, student id, and the 7 test category averages exported to an csv file.

I am trying to write a query that gives me the personal records from speed skaters on e.g. the 500 mtrs. I do this with the query:
SELECT cdsDistance AS Distance
, prsFirstName
, prsLastName
, min(crtFinalTime) AS MinTime
FROM tb....... INNER JOIN etc..
GROUP BY cdsDistance, prsFirstName, prsLastName
ORDER BY min(crtFinalTime)
In itself this works fine. However, there are complicating factors. Sometimes a speed skater has multiple PRs, meaning the he/she has the same fastest time more than once.
If these times are achieved on multple days, the 1st date is the official PR. (meaning: "Min of racedate")
If they are raced on the same day the 1st race is the PR (meaning: "Min of distancenumber")
Changing the code to:
SELECT cdsDistance AS Distance
, prsFirstName
, prsLastName
, MIN(crtFinalTime) AS MinTime
, MIN(cdsStartDate) AS RaceDate
, MIN(cdsDistanceNumber) AS DistanceNumber
FROM tb.......
GROUP BY cdsDistance, prsFirstName, prsLastName
ORDER BY min(crtFinalTime)
This gives me the wrong outcome because it gives me the "MIN" of every field, and they are not necessarily on the same row.
An option would be to calculate min(crtFinalTime), if for a person there is more than 1 result, calculate min of date, and then (if there is still more than 1 row) min of distancenumber.
Seems complicated, and I have the feeling there must be a better way (apart from: how to get this code)
Stacking subqueries in the FROM statement seems like a option be costly (time wise). There are more than 10 million rows (and growing) to run through.
As an example a few times:
DistanceFirst nameLast name Time Date Distance nr.
500 Yuya Oikawa 34.49 201311155
500 Yuya Oikawa 34.49 201311153
500 Yuya Oikawa 34.49 201311172
Yuya has 3 best times (34.49), 15-11-2013 is the 1st date, then distance nr 3 is the 1st distance raced. Therefore the 2nd row is the only row I would like to get in my endresult.

We had our backups backing up to the server where the databases reside. Now I modified the backups to backup to a file share. Now when we try to restore from the file share the restore fails, so we have to copy the backup to a drive on the server and recover for there. Should I be able to restore directly from the file share (using the gui)? Do I need to change something else to modify the default backup drive?

These separate COUNT queries are very fast:
SELECT COUNT(id) as viewcount from location_views WHERE createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND objectid=357
SELECT COUNT(id)*2 as clickcount FROM extlinks WHERE createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND objectid=357
But I want to add the COUNT statements, so this is what I did:
select COUNT(vws.id)+COUNT(lnks.id)*2 AS totalcount
FROM location_views vws,extlinks lnks
WHERE (vws.createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND vws.objectid=357)
OR
(lnks.createdate>DATEADD(dd,-30,getdate()) AND lnks.objectid=357)
Turns out the query becomes immensely slow. There must be something I'm doing wrong here which results in such bad performance, but what is it?

Hello,
I have a table which has a field called time and it has data like '23/04/2004 9:43:40 AM'
How would i write a query that would retrieve the last hour of data from now().
i've tried this but does not work,
SELECT [time]
FROM table
WHERE ([time] = { fn NOW() } - 60)
Thanks
Goong

i want to query all my records and how many per date
so
select count(id),date from registrants group by date
but my problem is the date is a date time field so how can i just group it by date but not count the time?
